C Work in pairs. Do any of the activities in Exercise 1B make you happy? Add some more activities to the list.

1 Sleep More Most people don’t sleep enough. If you want to feel good about life, then try to sleep for at least seven hours a night.

2 Do Some Exercise You don’t need to run for 20km or go to the gym every night, but a small amount of exercise will help you feel happy. Go for a short (10–15 minute) walk somewhere beautiful. It wakes up your brain.

3 Give to Others Research shows that giving money or time to help others makes you feel happier. Buying someone an unexpected present or spending some time doing voluntary work will give you a feeling of joy.

Everyone has a different idea of what happiness is,but most of us want to be happier. So, what can welearn from looking at the habits of happy people?Here are seven things to make you happy.

5 Spend Time with Family and Friends This is probably the most important thing you can do. People who have a strong network of social relationships are not just happier; they live longer, too!

6 Focus on the Moment Try to � nd opportunities each day to enjoy the small things in life. Spend a little time on your own, and just enjoy the moment.

7 Smile! Smile more (even when you’re feeling sad). Smiling can actually make you feel better. People who post big smiley photos of themselves on Facebook actually feel happier because they see the photo every day and it reminds them of happy times.
